Thank you for upgrading! I know these things aren't easy. Especially for a new(er) platform like Lemmy
Some more notes on what is included in the 0.19 version. Personally, for this instance the 'rewrite images to use local proxy' feature for privacy and the scaled sort option for vitalizing smaller communities look especially promising
I think because the # of daily posts now is low enough that a lot of people just look at local, so they see content they don't enjoy and downvote. Hopefully, it gets busy enough here to avoid that in the future
That's one of the use cases that's not optimized yet, but there are others. Just some of the ones for desktop alone and there are more for each client:
Seeing as some clients have working examples of making this work, I personally believe it needs to be fixed in lemmy-ui. So I took a look and there are some open feature requests for video embedding but they don't really cover your use case or the ones I listed but they are similar:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1852
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1215
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/709
I suspect that we (lemmynsfw users) are the ones that are most impacted by this issue and that it is unlikely to make it to the maintainers for a while. If we really wanted to fix it, someone could gather all the issues and make sure that we submit them all to lemmy ui.
A quicker yet more difficult way may be to find out if any of the more open source clients figured out this issue and ask them what they did to fix it. Then try to find someone that could convert that code to whatever lemmy-ui is written in and submit it ourselves to the project. Or just send it to our admins to test it out.
I never thought that I would be searching for "glowing butt plugs" but here I am
Hey, there are two ways to post videos:
1: In order to see the video as a thumbnail on the main page when you post it, you have to convert it to the .webp format first. There are some hosts like pornhub and redgifs that sometimes work, but I haven't figured out why yet.
I use screentogif (https://www.screentogif.com/) to convert the video to .webp, then I upload it to catbox.moe, copy the link, and put it into the URL field when creating a post. Note that this will remove any sound. I have some more info on settings for screentogif to make it less choppy but it's really getting into the details. Let me know if you want me to post what works best for me.
2: Just upload an .mp4 to catbox or redgifs and link to it from here. It will keep the sound but the thumbnail won't show as a video.
Right now, this is the best we have. Note that some mobile clients like Sync and Connect do a better job at this then on desktop. If you're concerned about folks' experience, it may be better than what you are seeing on desktop.
Good to know! Never mind then, just wanted to avoid any undue attention
I love her pictures but her name must not be spoken for a reason.
Now that you mention it... So I had to find out and discovered its @themarisolyotta. Still filtered or brushed or whatever
I'm not sure that I would be able to have a conversation with this person
Your figure is truly stunning, giving off a strong Poison Ivy vibe!
I'll do whatever you want, as long as I can put my mouth on your fine ass first
I think it's a good solution. To date, I've been on the fence about disabling downvotes. I can see the positive impact it's had for posters who can be more confident that they won't be downvoted into oblivion by others. But not having downvotes has been hard to get used to, it somehow makes upvotes seem less valuable
Will it be possible to prevent someone from subscribing to a community to downvote and then unsubscribing?
